When my husband and I got engaged, my mother in-law invited me into her kitchen and taught me a few things about Spanish cooking. To this day, I cannot make arroz con pollo for the life of me and have not mastered making white rice. If you don't have time to make white rice or have issues like I do, purchase a rice cooker (it's my new best friend) or stop by your local Chinese restaurant and pick up a quart of rice.

Anyway, this is a great side dish to go along with chicken, steak or even pork chops.

On low heat in a medium pot, heat oil and sofrito. Add Sazon Goya and chicken bouillon - cook for about 2 minutes. Add tomato sauce and potato cubes and simmer for 2 minutes. Add beans and simmer for about 5 minutes. Raise heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover pot. Cook for about 10-15 minutes. If sauce is loose, uncover pot and cook for additional 5 minutes.
